Chapter 11 CH 11: Meeting Calvin

(Laura’s POV).Few days later, I was seated at a table set for two in a fine dining French restaurant. Facing a balcony overlooking a river, it felt as if I was on a romantic date with my date not arriving on time.I sighed and reached for my glass of wine to calm my nerves. “A**hole”, I mumbled those words thinking about the man who refused to deal with my representative in offering to buy my family’s mansion back.He wanted to deal with me, in person.And then, he made me wait.“Hello, Miss Knight. Enchante (Nice to meet you)” he stood next to me and held my hand gently, giving it a soft kiss. That quick touch of his lips on my hand sent shivers on my skin.I looked up and saw a handsome man wearing a casual white shirt and blue jeans looking down at me with a smile flashing his perfectly aligned teeth. He could be dressed in rags and still look like a model walking out from a magazine.He winked at me before taking a seat opposite me and placed a bouquet of flowers on the table wh

In the bedroom of a luxurious suite at Blooming Hotel, Carla opened her eyes and realised her face was rested on a familiar hard chest of a handsome man.She lifted her head and saw his handsome face came to light. ‘F*ck! I slept with Mark, the waiter from Sebastian Café’, Carla thought and sighed in frustration.She was feeling the need for sex the night before but never expected her one night stand to be with Mark, again.

Chapter 14 CH 14: The Lies

(Vincent’s POV).“That’s your Laura?” I asked Calvin with my eyes still trying to catch a better look at Laura Knight that looked so much like my presumed dead ex-wife. The two women might have different hair colour and style but one thing she had that was strikingly similar. It was her blue electrifying eyes.The shade of blue that was hypnotic if you stared at it for a little too long. The kind of eyes that I did not dare to look at when I was married to her.‘Is it really her?’ I thought of the possibilities.The woman standing at the other end wearing a red evening dress exuded the kind of confidence that my ex-wife did not possess. My ex-wife Julia Raine, or whatever her real name was, had a pretty face but Laura Knight was more than just a pretty face. She was amazingly beautiful from every angle. A kind of beauty that could control a wild man into submitting himself to her command.The kind of beauty that I made my heart skipped a beat even when I stood far away from her.“Are

Chapter 16 CH 16: Not Her

(Laura’s POV).I needed some fresh air. So many people were coming towards me with so many questions. I was prepared for it. But, seeing him again, made me a little nervous.There were times I had lost focus on the objective of me hosting such party.I knew there was a possibility that he would find his way to come to the party even without the invite. He was Vincent Verdi. An arrogant man. Not getting an invite to a party like mine was a direct insult to him.Of course, that was my intention. I wanted to teach him a lesson that he can’t have everything using his money and power. I wanted to tell the world that he was just a fool!I smiled to that thought.Everything was going on as planned. I had it under control.But, I did not expect him coming to the party with Calvin. Why Calvin? I sighed.I was sure he was not coming. His presence to my party was not in my plan.After walking out from the crowd, I took some deep breaths and closed my eyes for a moment while I felt the cooling a

Chapter 17 CH 17: Not your Ex

(Laura’s POV).I had to leave. The mistake I made was not reversible.What I did to Carla was not part of my plan. I needed to fix it as my reputation was at stake. But, not tonight.I had to leave. He was chasing after me.I did not need eyes on the back of my head to feel his presence coming towards me.Urrgghh.. stupid man!As I walked out from the event, there were reporters flashing their cameras taking pictures of my face after I successfully pushed my cousin into the waters. I did not even try to help her.She deserved it but of course, they won’t understand.For many years, Carla pretended to be the better fake version of her showing how good she was as compared to me. She belittled me in public and made me feel like I did not deserve to be the named Heiress of Knight Corporation.But, that was in the past. I was taking back the throne. I will win this war.“Miss President, what happened between you and Miss Carla Knight?”“Miss President, how long have you known about Carla

Chapter 18 CH 18: A Chance

(Laura’s POV).Three days had passed since the welcoming party that was held for me. I buried myself at home and ignored messages and calls asking me about my confrontation with my cousin, Carla and the imbecile ex-husband of mine, Vincent Verdi.I had prepared a speech and agreed for an interview with the press earlier this morning. It was short and sweet. Technically, I was not lying about Vincent. He was married to Julia Raine and not Laura Knight.It was what I told the press being a misunderstanding between Vincent and me. And of course, Vincent was delusional.As for Carla, there was a surveillance footage that could prove that she attacked me first.Case closed. I had proved my point that Carla should not be trusted.After the interview, I walked to my room and sat on my executive chair.Before I could close my eyes, the door to my room opened where a handsome man walked in. He made me smile a little, “You can’t just walk into my room uninvited, Calvin”He smiled too and hande

Chapter 19 CH 19: The News

(Laura’s POV).The next day, I took a flight to visit my maternal grandparents. Henry had informed me that my grandmother was unwell. It was a perfect timing for me to place a distance between myself and Calvin.After that passionate kiss we had, I had pushed him away and in a reflex, I slapped his cheeks hard. It was unintentional. The slap was not supposed to be that hard.He had the audacity of saying I was giving him hints that I wanted him to kiss me. That had angered me more and I chased him out from my office room.Since then, Calvin had not stopped trying to apologise to me of his behaviour. There were numerous calls from him and gifts sent to my office and home.I just could not face him. His presence made me uncomfortable and nervous.Walking at the street in a small town in Tuscany, I smiled while happy memories of my mother and I came back to my mind. I loved coming back to her hometown and loved seeing my jovial relatives who had always treated me good.Henry informed me

Chapter 20 CH 20: Rachel's Secret

(Author’s POV).The Valerio Villa in Tuscany was not as big as what Rachel had thought it to be. The drive up to the place was filled with beautiful scenery that was pleasing to the eye. Relaxing and serene.It was breath-taking to most tourists as the place offered historical art and culture with the surrounding areas filled with vines production and consumption. A beautiful place that a person would love to retire to.But, that person was not Rachel Brown.She was a city girl who loved the modern day living and night life party with her friends. A life full of fun and excitement was what she craved for. Definitely not a girl who appreciated what a historical place like Tuscany would offer.What choice did she have? The place was close to Vincent’s heart. A place that reminded of his childhood. A home to his mother Maria Valerio.Rachel had to fake her interest to the place and smiled to cover her disgust of the minimalist life that the Valerio family offered her. The Villa was rust
